Yes, they are the same. Severe depression is also called "major" depression. The differentiation is with bipolar depression. That depression is the depressive cycle of the illness. Clinical depression is more prevalent in women. While there is no research-based reason for this, in my opinion it is because research has shown that women are more emotional than are men.

What is dual depression?

Dual Depression is the diagnosis made when a person is diagnosed with dysthymia (which is a less severe, but more consistent form of depression) along with a diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder (which includes periods of severe depression). Sometimes in an attempt to treat dual depression, two different anti-depressant types may be prescribed at the same time in an attempt to treat both disorders.

Can clinical depression turn into manic depression?

Not in the way that you are asking. Depression is one illness; manic depression is a separate illness. However, it is possible that you are actually manic depressive or bipolar instead of just being unipolar depressive. Sometimes the manic phase does not show up at the same time as the depression. Teenagers and young adults often have depression first, before the first manic episode.

Can anti depressants be used for homo sex treatment?

There's no "treatment" for homosexuality, just as there's no "treatment" for heterosexuality. Anti-depressants are used to treat clinical depression (which is not the same thing as just "feeling sad.") Of course, homosexual people can be clinically depressed, just like heterosexual people.
